A stormy day at the beach

Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia in the rain. The usually beautifully clear blue-green water was very murky containing small bits of seaweed and other debris. Taken during a major storm event affecting parts of the New South Wales coast with strong winds and heavy rain.

 

The ship in the distance is the Australian naval vessel HMAS Canberra. She has not been commissioned yet and is undergoing sea trials, sheltering in Jervis Bay to avoid bad weather. She is an amphibious assault ship also known as a landing helicopter dock and is the biggest ship ever built for Australia's navy at 231m (757ft) in length.
